Ticket said to Caps before Dorell Wright supplemental pick:
"See ya in the cellar sonny."

Kind of reminds me of First Four & Final Four Virgina Commonwealth fans who chant (ESPN announcer) "(Jay Bias (I think), repeat))" after media expert claimed "VCU doesn't deserve to be in the tournament."

E-Team must feel like any one of the four top seeds not to get to the final showdown, only the third time in NCAA history.

Ticket not wanting to be surpassed in fantasy title count by Caps, rallies behind the sophomore Invaders, who still could match Ticket & JRB in shortest time to earn a title (not in first season).

Tom this is actually my Invaders 3rd season....

Hoop Social said...

For Invaders must win re-match w/Nitecaps we go Howard/PGasol/Granger/Nash/Thornton and Horford-Lakers don't play until Thursday so we could have long wait for final result..

nitecaps said...

For a potential history making match Nitecaps go

R. Westbrook
K. Martin
D. Wright
Z. Randolph
Stoudemire
D. Rose

Special props to Ticket for a recalling his early season quote. Its been on our locker room chalk board all season.

E, How would we have faired had it been you and I matched in the first game of the championship game?

E Team said...

E Team says:

There it is again. With four minutes to play in the first half of a tight game, Danny Granger has four fantasy points. Four!

What devil has the XMan made a deal with?

E Team said...

E Team says:

Two minutes to play in the half and Dwight Howard has eight fantasy points?

WTF?

nitecaps said...

I guess he's not feeling to bad about his second half 42?

E Team said...

E Team says:

Interesting. Despite the slow starts, Mark's DHow and Granger edge Amare and DRose by 79-78, by my count. Still, that has to be considered a victory for the Nitecaps, who effectively neutralize Howard's 50.

Now it's a game of four-on-four.

And how about the technical on DHow? Does that mean the Invaders do without him in Game 3, if there is one?

nitecaps said...

If the NBA doesn't rescind the tech D.How will be suspended for the next game. That game would be Wednesday and have no effect on our match.

Hoop Social said...

It is 79-78 and Howard better not get suspended during a next match if needed..Dave I believe they have the right to protest the T which might delay a verdict but I'm not sure about that....Invaders would like to point out that Rose had a big 2nd half as well in losing effort to 6ers but nothing like Howard and Granger's turnaround-the biggest issue if this becomes a close game is how Amare apparently defers completely to Melo in crunch time that was extended by OT in this game..

E Team said...

E Team says:

A DHow suspension? No effect on Game 2?

Not so fast.

What if the league suspends Howard for Wednesday's game - against Atlanta? Now you've significantly improved the chances of a big night from the Invaders' Horford.

Nice. Imagine Mark's championship hopes resting on one of his own guys getting suspended.

Hoop Social said...

Invaders are liking Eric's scenario-this could be very good!!

Hoop Social said...

Invaders saw no mention of Howard T or suspension-ESPN said he fouled out no mention of technical foul...

nitecaps said...

These "Great" matchups I thought I had are not quite working out as planned.
When Dorrel Wright goes cold it's ICE cold!

Hoop Social said...

Dqave's Martin finishes w/25 and Wright has 3 at half time-My Thornton and Nash go this evening...Zbo-Gasol and Horford tomorrow and Thursday

nitecaps said...

Come on double overtime!

Hoop Social said...

No Dave- 1 OT!! Wright finishes w/23 and Westbrook 33 for a toal of 159+Zbo-My Nash and Thornton are off to slow starts w/9 and 5 respectively w/7 minutes to go in 1st half

E Team said...

E Team says:

The relatively low numbers by KevMart and Dorell and Westbrook have clearly opened the door for the Invaders.

Figure Mark needs for his weakest links, Nash and Horford, to equal Dave's two mid-20s guys. Then for MThorn to catch Westbrook. Anything they do beyond that gives Gasol a cushion against ZBo.

Maybe we have a series after all!

Hoop Social said...

My Thornton has 29 and Nash 23 w/2 minutes to go in 3rd quarter

Hoop Social said...

Invaders rooting for OT in Sacramento!!!

Hoop Social said...

27 for my Nash and 37 for Thornton who won the game w/big 3 and key rebound..score is Nitecaps 159+Zbo Invaders143+Horford and Pau

E Team said...

E Team says:

Wow. The first match of the postseason with some actual excitement.

The suspensions that follow 15 technicals happen with every other T. DHow will play tomorrow night. Two good omens for the Invaders, though: With the game in Atlanta, Howard may get a little less star treatment, and if JoeJohn is still out, Horford may get a few more touches.

MThorn and Nash did their job. Anything Horford gives Mark over 23 - Dorell's number - adds to Gasol's 7-point cushion over ZBo.

Randolph would seem to have a favorable matchup at home against the Warriors; the danger for Dave is a blowout. Gasol, in theory, should be productive in a marquee matchup against the Mavs.

Good stuff. And we have to wait until Thursday for it all to play out. A title hangs in the balance. The drama!

Hoop Social said...

My Horford w/24 w/6 minutes to go in the 4th Dave's Zbo w/15 at half against my Warriors-Howard has 5 fouls in Magic-Hawk game....

Hoop Social said...

Zach got Dave a 40 against my favorite team-Horford had 27 so it's 199-170 w/Gasol needing 30 to get the Invaders into a one game winner take all...

nitecaps said...

This is how the championship game should go!
